SUPER HIDDEN FOLDER:



You probably already know how to create a hidden folder......but the problem is that anyone with access your computer can acces you hidden files or folders......this tutorial teaches how to create a superhidden folder.......hope you like it......



Step 1:
Right Click on the folder you want hidden, then select Properties

Step 2:Click on the Customize Tab then Click on change icon

Step 3:The Change Icon box will pop up with the default Windows Icons (If it does not, then click on the Browse button and navigate to your WINDOWS\system32 folder and then find and choose SHELL32.dll then click OPEN

Step 4:Then Scroll to the right and look for a blank icon. Select the blank icon then click

Ok.And now to get rid of the icon text.
Step 1: Open My Computer then tool and then Folder Options
Step 2: On the View tab check mark Hide Extensions For Known File Types then Click Apply
Step 3: And now right click on the icon that you want to remove it’s text, then go to Rename
Step 4: Now, what you need to do, is hold the ALT button down. With the ALT button held down, and using the keypad type 255 then release the ALT button and hit enter, and voila you now have a untitled icon.This trick will work only for icon, if you are creating multiple Blank Text icons then you will need to name them like this:
For 1 Blank Text Icon: ALT + 255 (release ALT)
For 2 Blank Text Icons: ALT + 255 (release ALT) ALT + 255 (release ALT)
For 3 Blank Text Icons: ALT + 255 (release ALT) ALT + 255 (release ALT) ALT + 255 (release ALT) And so on…
The reason we need to do this is because part of Windows XP rules state that you cannot have a file/folder/shortcut with the same name in the same folder. To get around this restriction, we simply name the first icon with 1 blank space, the second icon with 2 blank spaces, the third with 3 blank spaces and so on.And you have an Super hidden folder.
